In Space Colony you will explore and colonize new worlds with the same sense of familiarity of popping in your local coffee shop for a skinny decaf latte. Space Colony is best described as a People Sim meets a City Builder. The player manages and nurtures a group of dysfunctional space dwellers colonizing the most unearthly corners of the galaxy. Make no mistake, none of the 20 colonists you'll meet were ever on a NASA shortlist. Ahhh, welcome to life beyond the stars. It's everything the brochure said. So what if half the staff are brawling, the Harvester Robot is chain sawing its way through the oxygen supply and small furry aliens have taken over the disco? This is home! Space Colony comes from Firefly Studios, the creative force behind the million selling Stronghold series. Creating the pressure cooker environment with emotions flying around, where else could you find a Norwegian biker who can't live without disco, a gym instructor operating a nuclear reactor and a geriatric in charge of base defence?

A tight package that offers plenty in the way of sim-building entertainment. If you've ever played a simulation game and wondered what it would be like if you actually had to control a group of separate personalities instead of robots, this is your game.

At the very least, gameplay in Space Colony wont get repetitive  just familiar.
With the mix of management, action and trade, the game certainly has a long life, and there are always new objects and items becoming available as the game progresses.

Despite the somewhat deceptive advertising, there isn't that much alien blasting and army building, so if you were more interested in the RTS element, or expect a little more depth from your strategy games, you're better off looking elsewhere.

I'm campaigning for an SDK to be released, a patch and even submitting Space Colony 2 Ideas to the Developers! The Demo does not compare to the full game! The Full game is so much better!…Expand

Its perhaps a little hard on some missions trying to keep a hold on all of your peeps, but its a challenge and a fun one to boot.

Its an interesting game and if you like this type of genre you should at least check out the demo and give it a try, you may be pleasently supprised. ;)…Expand

When I first started playing the demo I though it mediocre but after a while it sort of snags you and you find yourself going back to it. I am definitely getting a full copy. It has that "I'll just go a bit longer" factor.…Expand
